Kaizer Chiefs

WDDDWL

Since being beaten in their last game against Orlando Pirates in Premier Division action, Kaizer Chiefs and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Kaizer Chiefs had 44% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Orlando Pirates got 9 attempts at goal with 7 on target.

A succession of resolute performances from the Kaizer Chiefs defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures in total. Over that same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 5. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, of course.

↔️ Head to head

An inspection of their past head to head meetings going back to 21/04/2021 shows that these encounters have been pretty painful for Kaizer Chiefs. They’ve not managed to get themselves any wins at all while Cape Town City have simply been better than them, getting wins in 83% of those ties.

A total of 10 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 8 of them for Blue and Gold Army and 2 coming from Amakhosi. That’s an average goals per game of 1.67.

That time, Kaizer Chiefs had 65% possession and 15 shots on goal with 4 of them on target.
